And got rejected. That's gotta sting.

"up to $200 million", per a USA Today article.  Also the barriers are not so much the league voting it down as other admin type unspecified things?

Maybe Fred Smith left them a pot full of money to try again and up the ante? He's already left them loads of money over the years.

Years ago U of Memphis had several chances to build on campus venues and the sorry city kept shooting them down so they would have to play at city owned venues....Who wants to go to the Liberty Bowl or Fed X Forum in that sorry city. Car stolen is the least of your worries in that shizzle hole.

Memphis is a cesspool. My brother and his family lived for years in Covington, but they have long since moved to the county east of Memphis, in a small town called Eads or something short that starts with an "E".  They live outside of it, never can recall the exact name, lol.  But they would not live in Memphis again for a large sum of money.  They have one son that settled in Nashville 3 years ago, and I am happy to report their youngest son took a job in Huntsville last month.  They plan to settle somewhere about halfway between when they both retire, which is not far off.  That will bring them much closer to me, which is great.

My parents and siblings lived in Covington for many years. My 61 year old brother graduated high school in Covington. Covington is a nice town and I was there just a few weeks ago. They play good football in Covington. It's in Tipton County which is a good spell from Memphis.

There are some nice places around Memphis...Germantown...Collierville....Bartlett.... Raleigh which at one time was the hottest burb of Memphis and I lived there myself at that time....Later became blite and is now making a comeback the past 5 years after 30 plus years of blite....Inter Memphis is your typical Dem-o-Rat run city.

Sorry, I meant Cordova, which is well inside the beltway.  They would lock their doors very carefully. When they moved in Cordova was nice, but it got progressively less so, thus they moved to Eads
